We're here to offer no-nonsense advice for illustrators & image makers navigating a creative career
Hi!
We're The Good Ship Illustration
We believe your creative work should feel good, make you a decent living, and leave you feeling confident to fly your freak flag.
We’ve watched with gleeee as our students and members of our free online community have found their creative voices, created (and had published!) brilliant picture books, and discovered one of the most supportive corners of the internet for illustrators and image makers navigating a creative career.
Here's to basking in your weirdness and creating a creative career you love.
